Movements of Mr. Cave, Member of the Britivs Parlinment. ‘Mz, Thomas Cave, the cistinguisted member ¢f sho British Partiament whece arrival here I announced yos- terday, is still in town, and meets with a cordial recep- tion in ali quarters.) This morning he paid a visit to the court room where Surratt is being tried, and was Invited ‘to a seat on the bench beside Judge Fisher, He watched the proceedings very attentively, and expressed much admiration of the skiiful manner in which Judge Pierre- pont conducted the cross-examination of a witness for the defence. AfteraCadinct meeting he called at the White Honse, and was accorded a spec'al audionce by President Johnson, who, in the course of convereation, explained in an animated manner, and at much length, his views as to the best policy to be pursued toward the OR, South, ‘The interview was quite pleasant, Sub- sequently, Mr, Cave called on ‘Sir Frederic Bruce and Mr, Romero, tho Mexican Min- inte: The latter entered into an elaborate statement of Mexican affyirs, and expressed the opinion that peace and stability would soon be established on a Grm basis by the lideral government, and that a sysiem of internal improvements that would develop the ncn Torources of the country would immediately be inaugu- rated, It is rumored to-nigat that Mr. Cave has been tendered a complimentary dinaer by prominent partics here. The time bas not been fixed, but it is asserted that many distinguished Sepators and ropreseutatives will attend. Reception of the Hawnailna Minister by the President. i Mr. Charles C. Harris was to-day Introduced to the President by the Secretary of State, and delivered his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary aad Minister Pleni- potentiary of his Majeety, the King of the Hawaiian Islands, He made the following remaks on the occa- sion: — Mr. Preeipeyt--I bavo the honor to present the letter of his Majesty, the King of the Hawaitan Istands, ac- crediting me to your Excellency as hia Envoy Kxtraor- inary and Minister Plenipotentiary. In doing so I have been commanded to express his Majesty’s high appro- ciation of the friendship whieb has ever beon manifested by the government and people of the United States to- ward his predecessors and people, as well ns toward himself, and to say that nothing will ever be omitted by him which will cherish and strengthen that friendship which was #0 signally illus. trated by the generous hospitality with which Queen Dowager Emma was received and treated in this country, For this his Majesty has already returned hi thanks; and it is a great pleasure for me pow, Mr. President, to reiterate those thanks to yourself per- sonally and to-every member of your government. The King and people of Hawai! have always entertaine?, and still conttoue to entertain, the very warmest regard for the government and people of the United States, and I bave been sent into this country, Mr. President, to en- deaver to draw more closely the ties which bind to- gethor the two countries. Judge, therefore, how grateful a*thing it wagto meot, almost on the wharf, when land ing on the shores of the United States, the evidence that a isimilar eaire was entertained by your Excellency in meoting your accredited Envoy, who 1s regarded among us with the highost consideration, Permit me, Mr. President, while performing tho pleasing duty of conveying to the government of the United States the expression of the regard ‘and friendship of his Ma- poe d the Kins Hawail, to express the sense of the igh honor which has been accorded to mo in being per- mitted to reprosent the interests of Hawaii in tho cap- ital of that country which I am proud beyond the power of expression to call my native country. ‘The Preerpexr replied as follows :— Mr. Harnis—I bid you welcome to the capital of the United States, Before you arrived, I had already been apprised of the interesting conferences which wore heid ‘between yourself and the United States representati for the Hawaiian Islands, at your mecting in San Fr: cisco, The of correspondence between your country and our own long been £0 intimate and friendty that expressions of cordiality on this occasion would, perhaps, be liable to be regarded as merely a formal re- petition. Accept, then, my genoral assurance that everything on the part of this government asd ple which may affect the government and people of Hawaii wilt bo considered and conducted in a spirit of liberality, justice and friendship, Report of the Assistant (©: issionor of Freedme: Affairs in Miesiasippi. The report of Brevet Major General A. C. Gillem, Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen’s Affairs tn Mis- sissippi, for the month of May last, has just been re- ceived by the Ce asioner. General Gillcm states that registratiua is proceeding throughout the State in a quiet and orderly manner. The destitution reported is being relieved by agents, who have supplies for that purpose, Sub-Asaistant Com missioners bave been directed to give such information to the freedmen as will enable them to understand and appreciate their rights and duties under the Reconstraction law. The crops, he says, are looking well, and justify hopes of an abundant yield. There is but little room for doubt that a much greater amount cf Dreadstuffs will be produced this year than in any pre- ‘vious year. The corn and cotton crops are promising well, Much less damage was sestained from the great flood than was at first supposed. The season is far enough advanced to aford an abundance of green corn and other vegetables, and the General thinks that now assistance should be afforded only to the physical ly belpiess, In the sab-district of Oxford a decided dispo- sition is manifested by the civil authorities to give the freedmes all priviteges belonging to them fn the law, and the Assistant Commissioner has yet to learn of a solitary instance in which the freedman has not received the kindest and most patieat attention from the courts, In the sab-district of Jackson a freedman named John Vickers had contracted for himself and family to work daring tho year fora Mr. G. F. Grandberry. Thecon- tract was ifulfiled, and at the expiration of the term Vickers was turned off wRhout 4 settloment. Some time ago he made « comp! te the Assistant Commissioner, aed, as the sum due him was considerable,, he was advised to employ counsel and commence a suit for the recovery of the debt. Acting upon the advice, he paid a lawyer forty-five dollara. The case came before the court, and {it was decided agatast Aim Decause a copy of the contract was without « reve- uue stamp. A large pomber of applications have been riade in this sub-district by both whites and negroes for food. The amount and degree of destitution in this district have been greatly exaggerated by interested Ppartios. Applications arp daily made by white persons who have property and with a little exertion are able to support themecives. The colored people apply for pro- visious under the impression that the goverament in- tends to suppor: them. Some left their employment, and seemed much disappointed when tnformad that they Were net entitled to any assistance. Inthe district of Natohet many complaints havo been made by planters of freedmen leaving their employ without cause, It seems that most ef them were induced to take this atep by mischievour persoms circulating false storios emgng them, and by telling them to “go to the Freed- mon's Bureau aud got their money and tickea"’ Keoutive Clerk of the Seuate, will leave here for Eurepe to join Admiral Far- Tagol, by special invitation, after the edjoarnment of Congress.
